The day will cover two areas of CPD:

- Refreshing some key outdoor first aid skills

- Exploring human factors including mental health challenges that can occur when leading groups.

NB: This CPD day is not a replacement for a first aid qualification or minimum 16 hour requirement.

Programme for the day:

1) First aid skills – practical focus:
- DR (C)ABCDE approach
- CPR in an adult, including use of a defibrillator
- Recovery position
- Chest pain
- Asthma
- Diabetes
- Taping a sprained ankle
- Allergy and use of epipen (if time)

2) Exploration of human factors that can affect the smooth running of IML-led activities from single day outings to remote expeditions:
- Revisit heuristic traps and how these can impact decision making.
- Mental health issues on expedition and the Emotional Kit List.
- Discussion drawing on the lived experiences of the group, with peer-sharing of knowledge and leadership strategies to manage different situations. Attendees will be expected to come prepared to discuss a situation that they have experienced.

Examples of situations for discussion could include:
- One group member significantly less / more experienced or fit than the others.
- Disruptive group member e.g. alcohol or drug related.
- Challenging relationship between group members: either hostile e.g. racist, homophobic, etc; or overly amorous.
- Undeclared physical health issue or pregnancy

The aim will be to conduct all sessions outside as much as possible, weather permitting.
